Hello Brian,
Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.
Thanks a lot for Marina's input!
As Marina said, if the evaluation version is expired, we have to reinstall
from scratch. We cannot extend the expiration time since it is set
programmatically and cannot be undone.
The evaluation is 180-days for the three SBS2K3 install CDs with the
Premium Technologies set to a 120-day evaluation period. The setup log or
the dates on the files in the repair folder would provide the date of when
the server was installed. Using this date, one can calculate the expiration
of the evaluation copy.
